I agree. In my experience, every visit to a hospital, doctor, urgent care facility or even to a dentist begins with insurance information. When your doctor sends you to a radiology lab for an ultrasound or MRI, even though you have the doctor's prescription in hand, they first get the insurance information. I don't kno w what happens to people without insurance, never having been in that situation. Do they ask for a credit card? Don't know.
